*sniffle* OK I think I agree with everyone else on setting this as
PGC_SUSET until we can either prove it can be USERSET or we can fix it
so we can check permissions on SET properly.  It seems if you really
wanted a user to be able to set it you should be able to define a
SECURITY DEFINER function that sets it to a string you pass in or
something.  Obviously not part of core postgres...

*shrug* OK (I think there was still some flack on this var, but I
think its ok-- we can discuss that in a separate thread if people
still disagree :) )

I like the doc changes and think the new comment about %_SHARED being
unsafe is good.

All looks good to me.  Ill mark it as "Ready for Committer"
